About this property

La Gruta: A Serene Desert Hideaway with Pool, Pickleball & Mountain Views

**Stay a While. The 4th Night’s On Us**
When available, we’re happy to elevate your escape with a complimentary extra night—just reach out to extend.


Tucked gently into the shadow of Camelback Mountain, La Gruta feels like a well-kept secret—your own private escape where nature, architecture, and intimacy meet. With modern lines softened by sunlight and wide-open desert skies, this 7-bedroom retreat invites you to slow down, savor, and simply be.

Spend your mornings sipping coffee by the fire feature as the sun crests the mountain ridge. Float beneath the palms in the glistening pool, or share a bottle of wine in the spa while stargazing in the stillness of night. When the mood turns playful, the pickleball court, putting green, and billiards table spark laughter and a bit of friendly competition.

Inside, natural light floods the open living spaces through oversized picture windows, wrapping each room in warmth and clarity. Whether you’re cooking in the chef’s kitchen, making craft cocktails at the private bar, or just curling up in a quiet corner, the vibe here is effortless, elegant, and unforgettably personal.

INDOOR FEATURES:
⦁ 7 cozy, stylish bedrooms and 5 serene, spa-like bathrooms
⦁ Open floorplan infused with natural light and clean modern design
⦁ Gourmet kitchen with gas range and quartz countertops
⦁ Intimate bar area for pre-dinner cocktails or nightcaps
⦁ Billiards table for playful evenings indoors

OUTDOOR FEATURES:
⦁ Sparkling pool with tranquil spa and water features
⦁ Private pickleball court and putting green
⦁ Fire feature with plush seating—ideal for deep talks and desert air
⦁ Expansive lawn and shaded patios for lounging or yoga
⦁ Unobstructed views of Camelback Mountain's dramatic beauty

La Gruta is more than a place to stay—it’s a place to reconnect. To good conversation. To people you love. To the kind of quiet that lets your mind wander and your body rest. Whether it’s a weekend away or a week of reset, this desert gem makes you feel like you’ve finally exhaled.

WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING:
“Even with 10 of us, we each had our own space—and still felt connected.”

Perfect for a large group!

Our stay was fantastic! The property was spacious both inside and out, had so many different areas to relax in, with 10 people we never felt crowded, and the outdoor activities were lots of fun! Really enjoyed our stay at La Gruta!
